fierce competition, many excellent brands, both in its manufacture and performance, are not moving as expected. The HD-ready LCD TV, Panasonic TX26LXD8, is one.

Excellent features

As with all HD-ready LCD TV, the first feature to be concerned with is the tuner. The Panasonic TX26LXD8 has a DVB Digital Tuner already integrated into its system with a PLL synthesizer 100-position auto-search function.

The model is also CATV-compatible. Likewise, Panasonic opted a Freeview to be integrated in it. This is good for backward compatibility in searching standard-definition programs only. (Most countries in the world have not yet shifted to high-definition broadcast standards.)

The T26LXD8 is a Panasonic 26-inch LCD TV model that is HD ready via the combination of IPS-Alpha (WXGA) LCD panel, the integrated dynamic contrast ratio of 8,000:1, the present 1366 X 768 pixels resolution, and a viewing angle of 178 degrees.

The model TV's video has 3D Color Management (with sub-pixel scan and picture overcam) and a very impressive 24p mode of progressive scan. The 24p Playback is to make the visuals more ...
... movie-like. It also has the Contrast Automatic Tracking System (C.A.T.S.) smoothing out the contrast requirements in the video.

The Panasonic TX26LXD8 also uses the Video Noise Reduction and 3D Comb Filter. (This is not present in most brands.) In the controls, there is a selection of picture modes: dynamic, normal, and cinema which the user can tweak accordingly.

For the audio, it has the V-Audio Sound system to bring on the sound as life-like as possible.

This particular model has twin HDMI slots, twin SCART slots and one input sockets for Composite, Component, S-video, and CI Slot. This Common Interface terminal is to accommodate Conditional Access Modules (CAMS) for additional high-definition digital services, like Top-Up TV, Setanta sports, etc.

The HDMI are for high definition sources like cables, satellite boxes, and DVRs. The two SCART sockets are for other high-def sources like Blu-ray and PlayStation3 console.

Standard features

The Panasonic TX26LXD8 LCD TV model also carries the regular features for a widescreen HD-ready unit: the standard 16:9 aspect ratio, the PiP, and the anti-blurring system for fast-moving action. It also has a Teletext feature and VESA Standard.

Getting to know the TX26LXD8

The Panasonic TX26LDX8 is manufactured with an eye for smaller viewing places like the bedroom or a den or study. With the Smart Networking with VIERA link, and its good-looking horizontal arch design, this model is one of the most attractive in the market, hype or no hype. Take a good look.
